"Make America Great Again is not normal; neither is #Reform under #Farage. They should never be normalised and must instead be scrutinised and exposed at every turn.

The good news is that four years is a long time in #politics and simplistic nonsense need not prevail — but only if #journalists do their job properly."

@botanyone "Photo chosen/Canva": Since they aquired Leonardo, Canva is known for producing AI-fake-photos.
How can you take that company for scientific purposes, even if the photo is a real one?

I just saw an apparent left-winger post a suave confident quote, then adamantly refuse an obvious and very well documented fact check of said quote. The contortions were a sight to behold.

So, here's the thing. If you hold that one of the defining differences between us and the fascists is that we honor the truth - then accept compelling evidence when you see it.

I blocked. We don't need to lie about awful people to show that they are awful.
